Looking for a personal oasis? You're not alone. "Most of my clients want their bathroom to feel like a relaxing spa," says Abbe Fenimore at Studio Ten 25. "I like to use soft blues with gray undertones for this look."

Poised Taupe earned the title "Color of the Year," but the brown-gray combo is here to stay thanks to its versatility. According to Julie Holloway and Anisa Darnell at Milk & Honey Home, "Benjamin Moore's Sparrow is a great, earthy gray, that pairs well with natural accessories, like a jute rug or matchstick bamboo blinds, as well as anything cream or ivory."

The paint color is just as fresh as the toothpaste. "This blue-gray-green shade can be used in almost any room," says interior designer Lauri Ward. "It's an especially good choice for cooling a very sunny room."
